But no—a laugh of innocence and joy

Resounds, like music of the fairy race,

And gladly turning from the world's annoy

I gaze upon a little radiant face,

And bless, internally, the merry boy

Who "makes a son-shine in a shady-place."

[THE ELM TREE.]

A DREAM IN THE WOODS.

"And this our life, exempt from public haunt,

Finds tongues in trees."—As You Like It.
